what is an antonymes

I assume Adam is asking "What is an antonym?"

An antonym is the opposite. For instance, the antonym for COLD is HOT.

An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning of another word. For example, the antonym of "hot" is "cold". To find antonyms, you can use a thesaurus or a dictionary that provides synonyms and antonyms for words. These resources will list words that are opposite in meaning to the word you’re looking for. Additionally, you can also use context clues in sentences or conversations to identify antonyms. A word that contradicts or has a contrasting meaning to the word being used is likely its antonym.
